The Operational Problem
Property buyers and land researchers navigate clunky tabular portals detached from real spatial boundaries, making it difficult to evaluate neighborhood context and historical price trends together.
// VERIFIED_PRODUCT · Geospatial Planning
PropLens
A map-first property research workspace designed to evaluate parcels, boundary polygons, and historical transaction context directly on the map canvas.
User Flow & Ergonomics
Mapbox GL interactive vector canvas → Direct spatial boundary drawing & line measurement → Local offline parcel storage → Supabase data synchronization.
KEY TRADE-OFF // VIEWPORT-DRIVEN INFORMATION ARCHITECTUREThe map canvas is the primary interaction surface; metadata panels update dynamically based on the current visible boundary.
Impact & Retrospective
Researchers inspect parcel context and line measurements significantly faster than switching between separate map and listing portals.
LEARNING:In map-first workflows, the viewport is the primary query. Filtering and metrics must adapt smoothly as the user pans and zooms.
